Prepping For Winter

Getting the car ready for winter can be a bit tricky it seems, as you want to make sure you don't leave anything out. This is the first year the car will be in the garage all winter, so I had spoke to a few people to see what was necessary for proper storage. In short, your list should look something like this.

• Quick Wash
• Oil Change
• Coolant Change
• Top Off Gas Tank with Gasoline Stabilizer
• Park Car on Cardboard Pieces
• Block Off Wheels with Wheel Chocks
• Release E-Brake
• Inflate Tires to 50PSI
• Set Shocks to Full Soft
• Empty Glove Box and Other Compartments
• Place Dryer Sheets in Car to Avoid Musty Smell
• Remove Battery and Connect to Battery Tender
• Block Tail Pipes, Cooling Ducts, etc. with Rags to Keep Animals Out
• Close Windows
• Set Vents to Open
• Cover (If Not in Garage)
• Detail Throughout Winter

I plan to do some detailing while it sits in the garage, like clay off some overspray I had gotten earlier in the year on the car, polish the exhaust tips, other goodies. As for the list, I had to do this all this weekend due to the snow coming. Really wish I could've installed my new brakes first, but oh well! Thanks to Dave and James for help with this list here.
